    Leaking Soil Gutter Junction > How to Fix

    I presume no-one has answered because, tbh, the original installation is terrible. I'd try a silicone sealant but it isn't ideal.

    Roof leak diagnosis on newish roof

    We use step flashings/soakers on flat tiles for that very reason.

    Slate -vs- tiles?

    Absolutely +1 A lot of slate roofs were done like this with no consideration to additional weight. This practice was at its worst in the 80/90s when tiles were approx 50p and slate were £1.75 each, this resulted in some roofers cashing in on cheap re-roofs(tiles). Using an average terraced...

    So much for dial before you dig......

    I once took out the telephones of about 4 houses. I really loved that mk1 Golf GTI. I've been lucky, only ever dug up Cable & Wireless.

    Another stupid dog another stupid victim.

    We also hear the same tosh over and over again about it being the breed, it isn't. Take a look at tha statistics for dog bites, most are committed by Jack Russels, Spaniels, Labradors etc. Reporters/press have a lot to do with the bad reputation these dogs have. For instance if an attacking...

    The only good thing in that fil was Oberhaus' mountain hideaway which is actually a lovely rotating restaurant in the Swiss Alps.

    A nd the worst villain has to be from the same film, Telly Savalas as Oberhauser.

    James Bond, your favourite film and theme song.

    Well, if you like her then her acting in these vids would certainly raise interest levels, lol. Apparently. :)(saintly grin)

    Just googled her, there's a lot of references to some naughty video sites and her acting abilities.

    Another stupid dog another stupid victim.

    Ye yep, always amused me along with that other pearl, if swimming and you come across a shark. Stay still, face the shark and either punch it on the nose or jab it in the eyes or gills. Yeah right. I'm ignoring all that and I'll swim in the opposite direction as fast as I can. If it's hungry...

    Another stupid dog another stupid victim.

    That shows the mentality of some. Maybe they should see it as a Staffie with a yob on a lead. Maybe the government could ban yobs and dish out destruction orders, I quite like that idea.

    Another stupid dog another stupid victim.

    I wouldn't have one either but that's because I'm too selfish to dedicate time to any animal. As for SBT's, a wonderful dog(in the right hands)and the only breed I'd ever have if I were interested in sharing my time with an animal.

    Another stupid dog another stupid victim.

    I agree, very confusing indeed. The law is an a$$ when it comes to stating the Pitbull is a banned breed as it isn't actually a recognised breed, a Heinz 57 if you like. It states it's banned but if you can prove to a court it isn't a danger to the public and meet the strict criteria set out...

    Another stupid dog another stupid victim.

    The PB isn't a banned breed. As long as they're registered to the owner, the dog is neutered, 3rd party insurance and muzzled in public then it's perfectly legal to own one.

    Another stupid dog another stupid victim.

    There's only two breeds the KC and most vets recommend to be good with children, the Staffie and English Mastiff. The staffie is known as the Nanny dog because if it's gentle nature with children. Unfortunately the wrong end of the lead gets the blame most of the time. We had staffies when I...
